Using the Android maps api I'm creating polygons as I collect location data from every third point. The polygons track my position fairly well.
Problem is: Frequently the GPS returns points that are not remotely close especially when working around obstacles.
How can I filter my location data for outliers?
Yes GPS has a hard time with especially around obstacles. Powerlines, buildings, etc. Simply filter them out.
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (!location.hasAccuracy()) {
return;
}
if (location.getAccuracy() > 10) {
//possibly tell user gps accuracy with transparent circle like the maps
//application does.
return;
}
//process location accurate to 10 meters here
}
